but that's about it. I do get calls from various Democratic groups asking for money, but it's not constant.

My friend in Ohio said she was getting 2-3 robo calls an hour. It was driving her nuts. Last election she volunteered to phone bank but this year she decided she didn't want to contribute to the annoyance.

I kind of agree. If people don't know an election is happening by now they never will.
